Completed in 1929, 532 Lefferts Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 70 units and 67,925 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.6M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 89 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,340 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 614 of its 1,340 records, fully 46%, fall under that one heading. Violation (564) and enforcement (50) trail well behind. 134 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2016.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 14, with a site energy-use intensity of 90.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 409 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 46% complaint, 89 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.6M of Kings, written across 1,340 government filings.
